Connecting Canada to Opportunity

35 Canadian cities linked by the most frequent flights

As a global mega hub, Pearson is also a vital crossroads for Canada. Last year, 22 million passengers travelled domestically via Toronto Pearson, more than through any other Canadian airport. Of the 35 cities to which we provide direct connections, 28 are served by at least two flights daily, and 20 have more than five.

The domestic connectivity we provide increases productivity, facilitates investment, boosts job creation and access to talent, stimulates commercial partnerships and links the critical resources that fuel innovation. Across this network of busy flight paths, we extend our impact as an economic engine from coast to coast to coast.

For primary industries such as agriculture, forestry, mining and energy – typically based in rural and often remote areas – and also for secondary industries like manufacturing and construction, ensuring businesses run well means moving people, equipment, materials and finished goods smoothly and efficiently across Canada. The same is true for support services in everything from accounting and finance and engineering, to design, IT and process automation. To ensure that enterprises and entire sectors thrive, we must have quick, convenient connections between all parts of the country.

This is what Toronto Pearson helps our airlines deliver. We support the largest share of domestic flights by the country’s two major carriers, Air Canada and WestJet. They, in turn, weave together cities large and small, strengthening the fabric of Canada and extending our country roads and urban streets to the far horizons of the global community.
